The Hardships of Being a Mother
According to dictionary.com, the definition of mothering is, "The nurturing of an infant or small child by its mother." I'm not a mother - but I am a nurturer. It's essential for my job (working in a school), as an older sister, granddaughter, friend, and surprisingly, there's been times in which I've nurtured strangers. I still feel, somehow, that it doesn't compare to being an actual mother. I'm writing from the point of view of being a daughter, a child of a mother, who is taking steps into healing myself before I decide to become one.
